We do not even know what design Michelangelo adopted.

A model may be seen in the Accademia at Florence ascribed to Baccio d'Agnolo, and there is a drawing of a facade in the Uffizi attributed, to Michelangelo, both of which have been supposed to have some connection with S.Lorenzo.It is hardly possible, however, that Buonarroti's competitors could have been beaten from the field by things so spiritless and ugly.

A pen-and-ink drawing at the Museo Buonarroti possesses greater merit, find may perhaps have been a first rough sketch for the facade.

It is not drawn to scale or worked out in the manner of practical architects; but the sketch exhibits features which we know to have existed in Buonarroti's plan--masses of sculpture, with extensive bas-reliefs in bronze.

In form the facade would not have corresponded to Brunelleschi's building.
